We Begged 2 Explode

ESPN asked all 128 FBS college football head coaches for their favourite musical artist.

I, in turn, asked some mates to pick this winter's bowl games as match-ups of said favourite musical artists.

The panel:
Me
Adam Robot (What.cd power user)
Ben (professional DJ)
Steven (Gen X musicophile)
Hugo (pianist for Wartime Recitals/live music junkie)
Drew (self-proclaimed "sonic pragmatist")
Russell (black dude)
Riley (drummer for Thrice)

Note: Favourite musical artists listed reflect head coaches during the regular season, so, for example, Houston is Tom Herman's favourite musical artist, even though he is now the head coach at Texas.
